After 13 years of conservative government we end up in a position where even its own mps are having to campaign against their unfair tax policies. And i think conservative mps are quite right to say how is it that weve got the worst , to say how is it that weve got the worst, highest to say how is it that weve got the worst , highest tax to say how is it that weve got the worst, highest tax burden in 70 years .

In my big opinion , the tories are terrible, but on what planet are labour the answer in the big story as they prepare for their last annual conference before the next election. Do the tories have momentum . Ill be asking top telegraph columnist tim stanley live from manchester. Plus, ill bnng live from manchester. Plus, ill bring you more on a developing story, which is that the former home secretary, priti patel in the last few minutes at conference has backed gb news wholeheartedly.

It him as a Prime Minister . It might take a ten with the cost of insuring them now through the roof. The for case electric cars is running out of charge. Plus with priti patel calling Suella Braverman an attention seeker and with the cabinet split over, leaving the echr , are the tories leaving the echr, are the tories in the throes of a major civil war . Ill be asking tonights newsmaker the formidable ex government minister, ann widdecombe. Weve got tomorrows widdecombe. Weve got tomorrows front pages at 1030 sharp with three top pundits of pedigree. They havent been told what to say, and they dont follow the script. Tonight, former script.

They come straight to this. My laptop mark at gbnews. Com and this show has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. Weve got a brand new director in my ear tonight. Hes called mark. Lets make it memorable and we start with my big. As they begin their big opinion. As they begin their Party Conference. Lets be clear the tories are terrible. Theyre disastrous. Covid overreaction. Disastrous. Covid overreaction. Locking the country down three times in pursuit of a seasonal respiratory virus is something for which we are now paying a colossal price. Unfortunate, colossal price. Unfortunate, therefore, that , as reported by therefore, that, as reported by therefore, that, as reported by the excellent unherd news website this week, the Uk Government HealthSecurity Agency has declared wait for it. There is a lack of strong evidence on the effectiveness of lockdowns masking and social distancing to reduce covid 19 transmission. Well done everyone. Only half a trillion down the drain and a permanently damaged country whilst in office. The tories have printed money preside over rampant inflation, seen taxes at their highest level in 70 years, and they have allowed the woke capture of our Public Institutions to normalise ideas like men or women , that our like men or women, that our history is shameful and that everything is racist, including the countryside, mathematics and knitting. There was the debacle knitting. There was the debacle of partygate as the public were ludicrously locked in their homes whilst Decision Makers and policy wonks were guzzling red wine. There was liz trusss laudable but poorly executed tax cutting budgets and a figure in bofis cutting budgets and a figure in Boris Johnson who, not without his talents and he did get brexit done, limped from one self inflicted crisis to another and demonstrates his financial incontinence to this day with his ongoing support for unbridled net zero policies and hs2 for those dreaming of a bofis hs2 for those dreaming of a Boris Johnson comeback one day, be careful what you wish for. So the countrys got problems and the countrys got problems and the conservatives have been in power for 13 years. End of but on what planet are labour the answer . How will they tackle the eye watering debts and the ongoing ing pandemic levels of pubuc ongoing ing pandemic levels of public spending . The moment they get into power, the trade unions who bankrolled the party will expect pay rises for all, which will reassure taken the inflation monster. Will reassure taken the inflation monster. How will reassure taken the inflation monster. How will they inflation monster. How will they tackle stifling Political Correctness and the rise of woke when keir starmer will take the knee for any cause and when he still to this day struggles with the idea of what a woman is. Many of his colleagues in the party have been gleefully tweeting in the last few days that plenty of women can have penises. Do you really want five years of that . On what planet years of that . On what planet will labour tackle our dependence on the International Energy market for oil and gas . Energy market for oil and gas . When keir starmer announces that he will permit no new oil and gas licences in the north sea, meaning that tyrants like Vladimir Putin and unscrupulous regimes like saudi arabia will hold the whip hand over for us Energy Supply for the foreseeable future. Starmers bold idea is a 1970s style state sponsored Energy Business which will gamble taxpayer billions on flaky renewables, which, as germany has demonstrated over the last decade , is an the last decade, is an experiment at best, and one thats not going very well. Thats not going very well. Apparently, starmer is going to pay apparently, starmer is going to pay for everything with a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. First of all, there already is a windfall tax and also its tricky because although i dont like these businesses and they are polluters , we require their polluters, we require their partnership to pursue Green Energy Investments and we need them to maintain our short to medium term Energy Supply. As medium term Energy Supply. As with so much from starmer , its with so much from starmer, its a great headline, but with dire real world consequences is plus those windfall taxes will be a drop in the ocean anyway. Like the few million that he may get from taxing private schools, making them the domain of the super rich , furthering super rich, furthering inequality and killing aspiration. A family with a moderate income will now be pnced moderate income will now be priced out and kids forced to leave the private sector and of course they will need to be accommodated in our already crowded public schools. And you, the taxpayer , will be left with the taxpayer, will be left with the taxpayer, will be left with the to bill tax any Academic Institution which teaches and develops british kids. In my view , is an act of cultural view, is an act of cultural barbarism. Um, its a crime. On barbarism. Um, its a crime. On what planet are labour the answer to the illegal migrant crossings . When they blocked the crossings . When they blocked the rwanda plan and just about every other Government Measure to tackle issue , starmer said tackle the issue, starmer said on twitter today that hell smash the criminal smuggling gangs. Good luck with that. I gangs. Good luck with that. I think youll find these people are quite mobile , quite are quite mobile, quite sophisticated and quite hard to find. On what planet are labour the answer to . Britains already bloated and overly expensive Failing Health service again. Today he announced the biggest nhs workforce expand mansion in history. Presumably more diversity officers. Exactly what diversity officers. Exactly what you need when youre on a waiting list for cancer treatment. People boast that the treatment. People boast that the nhs is the biggest employer in europe. Thats not a boast. Europe. Thats not a boast. Thats proof of its wild inefficiency and its going to get bigger under labour. On what planet are labour the answer to making a success of brexit, given that their leader fought to reverse it and has spoken of his keenness to align with multiple eu directives and wants the help of brussels to tackle the help of brussels to tackle the migrant crisis , potentially the migrant crisis, potentially agreeing a deal to accept a quota of migrants to be agreed with the bloc. The tories are terrible, but labour are worse if you think keir starmer is the answer to britains problems, youre living on another planet well folks, what do you think . Mark gbnews.

Indeed about specific but what about those specific issues . How issues .
